I breed only selectively, usually only one litter a year.  I am extremely particular about who purchases my puppies.  Each new puppy owner  must pass an extensive interview. Whether the pups are used as working companions, show or obedience competitors, or are simply couch potatoes, I want them to be part of a family.  Are you sure a Rottweiler is right for you? Please read the ARC Rottweiler FAQ before going any further. 

Please read carefully:

• Puppies are sold only to pre-qualified (screened) purchasers. All puppy buyers are required to fill out a questionnaire.

• Deposits are taken on all planned litters.  The amount of the deposit is equal to 20 percent of the total purchase price. Once your deposit is received, your puppy is then considered "off the market" and other buyers will be placed on a waiting list for a future litter or referred elsewhere. Deposits are non-refundable, unless the puppy is not available for delivery at 8 weeks of age.

• For safety and security reasons, we would like you to have a fenced yard for your Rottweiler.  A fence of at least 5-foot height or above is preferred.  Electronic fencing or 4-foot fencing will usually qualify, only if it is located in an urban setting, and not in a busy residential area.

• If able, we'll usually schedule a visit to approve your current dog set-up, as well perform reference checks as deemed appropriate.

• I require that all puppies/dogs sold will be indoor dogs, as we want them to be part of your family.

• General health is guaranteed. Other guarantees & stipulations are stated in our Sales Contracts:
  Show/Breeding Prospect Sales Contract
  Companion/Pet Sales Contract

• Puppy's temperaments are evaluated at 7 weeks of age using the Puppy Aptitude Test and matched  with families whose lifestyles and desires are compatible with the evaluation results.

• Companion/pet-quality puppies are sold on Limited Registration and I require them to be spayed/neutered.

• Prior to taking the puppy home you will be given information on training and care of your puppy and a list of the proper equipment and supplies to obtain prior to bringing your puppy home.

• At the time you purchase your puppy you will be given a completed sales agreement, a copy of the puppy's AKC papers, parent's OFA certifications, the puppy's health records, as well as any suggested feeding/vaccination schedules and puppy care info.

• Once a new puppy owner leaves with their new puppy, I feel the relationship has not ended, but just begun, as I am always here to help you, and answer any questions you may have.  I always enjoy receiving updates on the pup's progress!
